Urgent Response Services
Rapid autism support to stabilize urgent and escalating behaviour
To Register
Children and youth with autism can sometimes engage in high-risk behaviours and may be more vulnerable to harm themselves or others. Caregivers’ and parents’ main priority is to maintain their child’s safety. Urgent Response Services (URS) are a time-limited, rapid service response to a specific need, to prevent further escalation of risk of harm to self, others and/or property. For those deemed eligible, the OAP URS will provide time-limited services and supports, addressing a specific need for up to 12 weeks. This may include:
- Short-term interdisciplinary consultation via a mediator model approach
- Respite services
- Service coordination to oversee the service plan and also provide navigation to other services within or outside the Ontario Autism Program
